What I photograph
Every session is about an hour outdoors at a location we pick together, with edited photos delivered in an online gallery.
Families
Everyone in one frame, plus the in-between moments that end up being your favorites.
Kids & milestones
Birthdays, first steps, back to school. Patient, playful, and at their pace.
Couples
Engagements, anniversaries, or just because. Easy and unposed.
Seniors & portraits
Graduation photos and headshots that actually look like you.
Recent work
A growing collection. Every portfolio session adds to it.
Simple from start to finish
Send a message with what you have in mind and a few dates that work.
We pick a spot and a time with good light, and I'll send a few tips on what to wear.
About an hour, relaxed and fun. Kids, pets and chaos welcome.
Edited photos in a private online gallery, ready to download and print.
Hi, I'm the face behind Blue Cactus.
I'm a photographer based in Eastern North Carolina. I started Blue Cactus because I love catching the real, unplanned moments: the laughs, the hugs, the little looks between people.
I'm just getting started, which means you get my full attention and a great introductory rate while I build my portfolio.
Let's make something you'll keep.
Tell me a little about what you're looking for and I'll get back to you within a day or two.
